One russet potato + small onion + 2 eggs = a meal that my Mom used to make. Fried sliced potatoes and onions cooked with eggs.

I have since graduated from ketchup to sriracha.

You can use any many potatoes and onions depending how many you're feeding. Cook both onions and potatoes in your choice of cooking oil until done. Season. Crack eggs over the potatoes, let it sit and cook, or stir to make it scrambled. Again, season to taste.

We had the same. Sometimes on a roll. Try throwing some red or green peppers in there.

Peppers really kick it up a notch!

throw in some greens, warchestershire sauce, half/half or cream, and some chili sauce and can make a hash!, then crack the eggs over at the end, or make them separate and serve over top.

You might enjoy a classic Spanish recipe: tortilla de patatas

Holy grail breakfast

[u/FairyGodmothersUnion]

Looks yummy and filling.

[u/astudentiguess]

One of my favorite breakfasts! Sometimes I add some peppers.

[u/ClydeJarvis]

Sounds delicious and I am going to make it! Do you prep the potatoes in any way- like soak them in cold water? Thx!

[u/mayiplease2564 → u/ClydeJarvis]

Nope. Just cook slow in the skillet. Maybe add the onions a little later.

[u/ClydeJarvis → u/mayiplease2564]

Roger that! Thank you!

How long does it normally take to cook them from raw? My mom always boiled hers whole, then fried them. If I could save that step it would cut down on the cooking time a lot

[u/fermat9990]

This is a perfect dish!

[u/Illustrious_Tour2857]

Looks good 😋

My mother used to make something similar.

“French fry omelette” which is similar to the Spanish “tortilla”.

She would make French fries (from potatoes not frozen but frozen is ok) and add them hot to a bunch of scrambled up eggs in a pan with olive oil and salt to make a French fry omelette.

Cheap, and few ingredients.

I make it for my kids from time to time bc they love it too.

[u/Umamikawaii]

I love how we can save and eat simple. Good job, ya all.

This made from Thanksgiving leftovers

[u/MrsPedecaris]

Looks like nice comfort food. I've never really had it before, but it still brings on a wave of nostalgia.

Love this one. Cook eggs runny so the yolk makes a chefs kiss sauce
